  7. Complicating matters, another less genteel Thomas Harwood (who died in 1657) patented 100 acres in York County in 1637 and became a justice of the peace of that county, as well as had sons named Thomas, Samuel and Gerard. Family historian Jim Harwood p.14 believes that man was the son of this man's son Humphrey Harwood, yet states he was born in England around 1609 when this man his grandfather was only 9 years old. That last York Thomas Harwood died in 1700 and his second wife deeded land she had inherited from him to her son Thomas Willis. See Dorman p. 300 n.7
  8. Although Tyler vo. 4 p. 447 believes the Samuel Harwood who represented Charles City County (upstream on the James River from Warwich County) was descended from this man, modern research does not corroborate that connection, so the Samuel and Joseph Harwood line was either descended from another immigrant or from the early burgess William Harwood of Martin's Hundred, as deduced by family historian Jim Harwood p. 10, who traces that Samuel's descent from the slaughtered William's son Joseph (1640-1680) and his son by his wife Joyce Meldrum, also Joseph (1659-1737, who married Agnes Cocke and whose son married a woman of the same name).
